  • Question
    How do I know where to put highlights and shadows when drawing graffiti letters?
    Community Answer
    Decide where the light source is. For example, if the light source is one from the top right, then the shadows will be bottom right where the light will probably not reach. The highlights will be in the letter very close to the light source, which means top left in this example. Look at images online to find the light source and spot where the shadows fall.
